If you have ever wanted to race on a track but didn’t want the heartache of crashing you daily or just can’t seem to find the funds at the right time then this series may be for you!

The ‘SAU Vic iRacing Championship’ is a virtual race series played on the premiere race simulator – iRacing. Offering laser scanned real world tracks, various race breed vehicles and almost flawless driving physics iRacing gives a fun yet challenging experience at an affordable price. With a focus on race craft and safe driving it gives new comers to racing a great insight to motorsport without the sometimes costly repairs or even worse personal injuries, while allowing veterans to practice and hone their racing technique when not racing in the real world. Even V8 Supercar drivers such as Shane van Gisbergen or Arrie Maree from the Formula 3 Australian Drivers Championship now use iRacing as a way to practice their skills for real world racing.

To join the ‘SAU Vic iRacing Championship’ all you need is an account with iRacing and have a steering wheel or gamepad, then search the league directory for the ‘SAU Vic iRacing Championship’ and click on the ‘join’ button. Membership to the site is very affordable at only $13 a month (AUD/USD rate dependent), much cheaper than panel beating or a new gearbox!

There will also be trophies for the top drivers 3 at series end.

I'm running a pretty standard $300 computer, only thing good about it is the graphics card. You only really need high end if your wanting super high detail on every little thing in the game. As for a steering wheel, many top iRacers use a simple $20 dollar thrustmaster wheel, you can now even use iPad or iPhone with an app called brass monkey using the ipad as a controller. So there are heaps of options out there to allow people to race :)

What cars and what tracks?

The cars in the series are the Mazda MX5 Cup, Mazda MX5 Roadster, Pontiac Solstice and the Ford spec Racer. These cars have fairly comparable lap times and are also cars that are included in your memebership when you join iRacing. The tracks in the series are Lime Rock Park (USA), Okayama (JAP), Laguna Seca (USA) and Summit Point (USA). Again these tracks are included in the iRacing Membership.

The new iRacing build is great, your right the tyre models are a lot better than they used to be!

Yeah same here with the srf anyway. Haven't driven it since it's update but have heard that it's way better

The SRF is great, love the thing, toss up between that and the MX5 Roadster for me in this series.

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
